Extremely useful for demanding installers
dealing with DX setups due to its exceptional
tuner capable of receiving very weak tran-
sponders with low SR
Very good operation of the “tunning knob”
Brilliant LCD
Convenient method of configuration with
easily available and up-to-date INI files
Possibility to store and export numerical
results as well as graphics, spectrum views
and data
The installer can pre-program the meter for typical installa-
tions (like ASTRA1/HOTBIRD) and later execute all the meas-
urements with minimal effort

Expert Opinion
transponder. In our opinion,
it tries too long to lock to the
signal. Of course, if all tran-
sponder are receivable, com-
pleting the measurements of
the whole transponder list is
quite fast.
The SPAUN SPAROS SAT
HD is a powerful satellite
meter, which does a perfect
job in aligning dishes. We es-
pecially liked its highly sensi-
tive tuner, which could lock
in to weak signals. An impor-
tant feature, when you are
in the process of aligning a
dish and keep getting weak
signals until you finally found
the right focus.
